Review | Wasabi


Everybody knows I never take chances when it comes to fill my stomach when I'm hungry, and I don't think I have learned my lesson from my past experience with Japanese food at Maki, so here comes the story closure for ALL Japanese restaurants...

My friends, as always, insisted we try something new and they chose Wasabi. I told them I'm hungry and I really need to eat something good. "Ohhhh you'll eat your chopsticks" they said and so off we went.

When you go there you'll see their cozy environment, nice reception, good service and so many "calming" things which is very good, but the odd side is people just don't know how to mind their own business. They scan every living creature going in and out the restaurant. They stare so bad I though I'm a new inmate in a jail. In other words it's a place to see and be seen.

Now for the food there's no doubt that Japanese food has it's own fans. Their chopped up rolls look delicious you'd never want to touch it, just sit there and watch because once you taste one roll you'd want to stick those chopsticks down a Japanese chef's throat. The only edible dish was the Beef Rolls and still they don't really taste that good either but I guess I was really hungry.

The price wasn't as high as Maki though it still is overpriced for a small roll of ?raw? meat.

And to conclude the Japanese food series we pray...

Thank god for the blessing of Mach-bos,
Thank god for the sweet taste of Ma7shi,
Thank god for hummus and shesh kebabs,
Thank god for the heap bags of rice so our moms cook what's best for us,
And god bless our mothers for not making our traditional food anything close to Japanese food.

LoooooooL I also donno what is the big fuss about Japanese food ?!!! I mean, maybe it's just a fashion .. sometimes i feel people are PRETENDING to say they like it to go on with the fashion??

The only thing I really liked in Maki, which i went to once, is the beans thing, boiled or something like that.. shisma big green fasoolya.. Madri you know it or not..

But the rest is Blekh!

I'm not a big fan of Japanese, and I haven't tried Wasabi.. Maki's beef rolls are amazing though. 7ady mishtahya hummus!

I like their menu and prices are fine in comparison with other Japanese Rests.

Bel 3afia and Viva Les Kebabs and Houssous!

Shayouma said...

Although, I would like to go again, because people in my family are telling me i haven't tried the good stuff!

I only got one chance as i am abroad and when i am in kuwait, I plan and plan to do things but nothing happens.. maybe i didn't taste the good things in there?

Enigma said...

dishevelled said...

i love the food at wasabi!
I honestly think it's better than Maki a bizzalion times :P
I consider Maki "kuwaiti japanese". They put mayo and sauces on almost everything, it's barely the simple japanese anymore.

Oh no trust me you have tasted everything pretty well from the first time because all of them are the same. Slimy food just doesn't work. *barf*

Yeah, Maki's beef rolls were better in taste but still they all taste like *censored* allah edeem el ni3ma.
Hummus bil-la7ma please.

noonie:
Didn't try those, I'm sure they're better than what I had.



princess:

Exactly my motto, bas 7ikumk el qawi 3al tha3eef, they force me to go there with them. :/


ansam:
Heh, as I mentioned in my post Japanese food has its own fans and fortunately I'm not one of them. Enjoy Jap food. ;p

Unknown said...

MacaholiQ8 said...

never tried sushi! But I love Japanese Ramen (real Japanese ramen I mean not the boxed one) !!! It just tastes so damn goooooooood!
And yeah it's only a "haba" right now. Just like when everyone went crazy with the cone pizza.

عاد انت .. ويا الأكل حظك أغبر

------------

بس الأكل الياباني صراحة ما عليه كلام

أول شي صحي .. وفايدته فيه
لأنه غير مطبوخ ..

يعني مثل الأسماك وباقي الكائنات البحرية

يفضل إنها تكون نية .. عند الأكل

للحصول على اكبر فائدة ممكنة
-------------

ثاني شي

قطعة السوشي الوحدة

فيها وجبة متكاملة من جميع النواحي

عيش وخضار ولحم

وتقدر تزيد الفايدة
مع اللذة بغمس

قطعة السوشي بالصويا سوس

وأكيد تعرف فايدة الصويا

وإذا حاب .. تتشلوط شوي

حط الواسابي
--------------

أفا عليك بس
----------

زين تعال

انت اش حادك على السوشي

عندهم اكلات وايد غير

وترضي جميع الأذواق

بس مثل ما قلت في بدايتي

حظك أغبر
